Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement over the prior art more particularly set forth in U.S. patent 7294947, and its related patents in other jurisdictions, wherein, said prior art was directed to a rotational magnetic torque transfer device utilizing two coaxial cylinders overlapping one another wherein one cylinder contains a row(s) of permanent magnets and the other cylinder contains a ring(s) of electroconductive material, but the problem was that said prior art had a maximum power transfer limit since the induction rotor bars were atmospherically air cooled, said air cooling causing both the induction rotor bars and magnetic circuit materials to reach a temperature that would break down the magnetic characteristics of the materials above a certain power transfer rating point.
- the challenge is to develop a modified geometric arrangement and structure for the device that would allow for direct liquid injection cooling within said coaxial cylinders without increasing magnetic circuit reluctance or electrical conductor short circuits within said device.
- the prior art was limited to less than 1000 KW power transfer, otherwise the internal operating temperature of the unit would cause the permanent magnets’ field to fail.
- the invention discloses and claims improvements that allow very large power transfers through direct liquid injection into the electroconductive bars, then said liquid exiting directly and impinging upon the magnetic bar rotor, said liquid not interfering with the permeability of the magnetic field or magnetic circuit.
- the described apparatus is a device that uses permanent magnets and conductors arranged in an optimal manner to generate the magnetic flux in a power transmission drive, together with direct liquid injection for both rotors cooling.
- the embodiments described utilize a mechanical means for changing the flux density between two rotating components to vary the torque transmitted by and thereby the output speed of the apparatus.
- the present invention utilizes permanent magnets to transmit variable or fixed torque between two rotating elements.
- the aforesaid permanent magnets are located on only one of the two rotating elements (also referred to as “rotors” or “rotary members"), and the other rotating element in a particular embodiment does not contain permanent magnets but does have so-called “electro-conductive” elements.
- so-called “magnetically permeable” materials are also contained on the said non permanent magnet rotors, said magnetically permeable materials comprising substances that allow magnetic flux penetration.
- the torque between the aforesaid two rotating elements is adjusted by varying the amount of magnetic flux passing between the elements by varying the extent to which the elements are axially overlapped.
- two concentric cylinders one containing one or more rows of permanent magnets, is moved axially in order to progressively axially overlap a second cylindrical element containing electro- conductive elements and magnetically permeable elements, but not containing permanent magnets.
- This progressive axial overlapping of the two cylinders allows variation in the amount of magnetic flux intersecting the two concentric cylinders.
- This causes the amount of induced electrical current in the cylinder containing the electro-conductive elements to vary, which then causes the induced counter magnetic forces to vary.
- the magnetic forces and, thus, torque transmitted will vary based on the amount of axial overlap.
- the liquid coolant is directed radially to the magnet rotor so that the liquid coolant directly impinges upon the surface of the magnet bars.
- the proposed invention overcomes previous limitation of the invention disclosed in US 7294947 in that there is no limit to the amount of power that the device can transfer limited only by the structural strength of the various materials. There is no longer any limitation due to the heat generated in the electro- conductive bars in the electro-conductive rotor.
- the liquid coolant does not interfere with the magnetic field circuit magnetic flux flow nor does said coolant allow internal short circuits for the components in and around the electro-conductive elements. Further the induction rotor rotation itself acts as a second centrifugal boost pump to assist in circulating the liquid coolant.
- the new geometry of the new liquid cooled induction rotor has adjusting screw plugs at the end of each electro-conductive rotor bar (504).
- the proposed invention overcomes previous limitations by taking advantage of new technologies in magnet materials and provides a stable means of mechanically varying large amounts of transmitted torque without the need for large external current controls.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the exterior of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is an exploded isometric view of the liquid-cooled electro-conductive rotor of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is an isometric view of the liquid-cooled electro-conductive rotor.
- FIG. 5 is an isometric view of the detail of the channels for cooling liquid flow immediately adjacent to and running parallel along the electroconductive rotor bars of FIG. 4.
- FIGS. 1 though FIG. 5 the preferred embodiment of the invention is shown and described as it applies to a liquid cooled high power variable speed drive application.
- the two coaxial rotors [one rotor having axially placed electro-conductive bars (201) and one rotor having one axially placed permanent magnet bars (202)] together with their respective support bearing cartridge systems [(200 and 203) are shown in an exploded view outside of their casing (100).
- the automatic control system actuator (204) which moves one of the two rotors relative to one another to adjust the axial overlap of the two rotors while they are rotating to vary the amount of torque and power transferred through the unit.
- the embodiment casing (100) when assembled is fully liquid-tight so as to capture the cooling liquid that is pumped through the cooling liquid passages (501) located directly adjacent to the electro-conductive rotor bars (504).
- the bearing support cartridges (200 and 203) are oil lubricated and cooled and are sealed from the outside and from the casing so that the oil and the rotor cooling liquid do not intermix.
- the purpose of using magnetically permeable material is to provide a continuous magnetic flux path between the magnetic pole faces, thereby allowing optimum magnetic flux arrangements to exist.
- the magnetically permeable material need not be ferromagnetic.
- the cooling system is a closed system consisting of an external liquid storage tank, a centrifugal circulating pump, a heat exchanger to reject the heat picked up in the magnetic drive unit, temperature gages, pressure gages, filters, and interconnecting piping.
- the cooling liquid may consist of a mixture of distilled water and a glycol compound.
- the liquid coolant is directed radially to the magnet rotor so that the liquid coolant directly impinges upon the surface of the magnet bars.
- the proposed invention overcomes previous limitation of the invention disclosed in US 7294947 in that there is no limit to the amount of power that the device can transfer limited only by the structural strength of the various materials. There is no longer any limitation due to the heat generated in the electro- conductive bars in the electro-conductive rotor.
- the liquid coolant does not interfere with the magnetic field circuit magnetic flux flow nor does said coolant allow internal short circuits for the components in and around the electro-conductive elements. Further the induction rotor rotation itself acts as a second centrifugal boost pump to assist in circulating the liquid coolant.
- the new geometry of the new liquid cooled induction rotor has adjusting screw plugs (502 and 503) at the end of each electro-conductive rotor bar (504).
